Title: Yamaha YZF R1
Post by: TexasDave on June 24, 2019, 03:22:21 AM
Jay Leno rides Wayne Rainy's custom Yamaha YZF R1. I noticed even with this expensive custom bike it still had the familiar Yamaha clunk into first gear of every Yamaha model I have owned.

HA HA, Only 180 hp.  My track bike is dyno'd at 187 but it weighs 400 lbs so it's probably a little slower in acceleration.  Wayne Rainey is a cool character, he and his cohorts are doing a good job with moto america.
